[Former member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy Donnie Gilligan was killed by Agent Skye to prevent his use by HYDRA as well as to prevent his own unstable behavior from claiming more lives. No further investigation was done on Agent Skye other then a brief psychological review.]

Skye closed the file.
It couldn't be true. There had to be a body. She needed closure. When she shot him she thought she knew Donnie had to have been killed. After weeks of waiting for a report of finding it, she wasn't so sure. Coulson had called in local government contacts and had the place searched ocean surface to bottom. Military grade submarines were re-directed to scan the area with radar. They only found ice. No doubt HYDRA had tried to do their own searches, but Coulson was thorough. They had searched the area first, there was no way HYDRA could have gotten it before they did. And yet, Donnie Gilligan remained missing. And ice cold blip in the ocean, unable to be found. She leaned back heavily against her room wall. A file of prospective Inhumans for her team of warriors remained open next to her. But as long as Donnie might be out there, she couldn't focus on any one of them. She pulled up local news reports and maps of the ocean currents and began reading. She would find him. If only for closure.
